I was just thinking about places closed because of the gov crap. It got me wondering about the mining operations and all the businesses impacted near lake mead where the only access is through Overton or through their check points. You think the big mining companies were forced to shut down? Doubt it! Anyone gone through cottonwood recently? Is that all closed off too? The trail on the blue diamond side is part of red rock NRA. What about Overton trails? Rocky gap likely is, even from the pahrump side. Joker's right, this sucks!

Painting is like everything else, you get what you pay for. I would say painting is maybe 80% prep and 20% of actual painting. With that said, any work that is not done on top of good prep has the possibility of turning out crappy. Therefor any reputable shop will not paint it. esp because if stuff goes bad, their name will be on it.

Like others have said with such an old car there are tons of things that could be wrong under the surface, which inturn is your major issue. Just get Khris to plasti-dip it and call it a day.

When I was about 8 y/o and still is to this day... (except the knee injuries, grounded when I got arrested shoplifting in my early teens, and ummmm yeah, that's my only two complaint memories... Oh and I had a mental break down somewhere in my sr. college year thinking I was done for. LOL)
